Welding engineering support for Cameron International

A decline in the number of experienced welding professionals has seen growing demand from TWI Industrial Members for short-term welding engineering support at Cambridge, or as on-site contract staff.

One such instance was support for subsea production systems at Cameron International Corporation during the Total Usan project. TWI welding engineers were engaged in project offices in the UK and Nigeria, reviewing welding packages, welding specifications and records, post-weld heat treatment procedures and records. The total was over 8500 man-hours from November 2008 to October 2011.

There is also a growing demand for the Welding Fabricator Certification Scheme, which allows welding fabricators to demonstrate compliance with EN ISO 3834 and EWF requirements. This is becoming a contractual requirement within the construction and oil and gas sectors, and has led to increased demand for software tools for welding documentation management. TWI has developed a customised Welding CoordinatorTM system for 200 users at five nuclear and fossil plans for Constellation Energy (now owned by Exelon Energy) in the USA. This software includes rules for fossil, gas and nuclear plants. It generates preheat and PWHT requirements based on ASME, ANSI and AWS codes, and integrates the documentation associated with welder qualifications, welding procedures and fabrication plans.
